Today, Josh is a full-time motivational speaker, addressing secular and church crowds at least 70 times a year; also, he is a coach and consultant. As chapter president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at the University of Texas, Josh had the opportunity to combine his athletic experiences with his lifelong passion of sharing his hope in Christ.
